Don't Fish In My Sea

Don't Fish In My Sea--Ma Rainey
Piano, Jimmy Blythe

My daddy come home this mornin', drunk as he could be
My daddy come home this mornin', drunk as he could be
I knowed that he's done got bad on me

He used to stay out late, now he don't come home at all
He used to stay out late, now he don't come home at all (Spoken: No kiddin', neither)
I know there's another mule been kicking in my stall

If you don't like my ocean, don't fish in my sea
Don't like my ocean, don't fish in my sea
Stay out of my valley, and let my mountain be

I ain't had no lovin' since God knows when
I ain't had no lovin' since God knows when
That's the reason I'm through with these no-good, triflin' men

Never miss the sunshine 'til the rain begins to fall
Never miss the sunshine 'til the rain begins to fall
You'll never miss your ham 'til another mule's in your stall
